As cool as this phone looks, Android was also slated as the iPhone killer. Until we actually get our hands on one, there is no telling. To anyone out there wanting this phone, I would at least wait 2 days for WWDC to see what Apple brings to the table before deciding. If I was with Sprint I would definitely be owning this. Hilarious for Verizon because they passed on the iPhone, and I bet they lose even more of their customers now to this and the new iPhone.
the bottom line is palm is not copying apple. apple used this technology and made it there own and did a better job on advertisement. the bottom line is that palm finally seems to have gotten there act together and it looks like they will be giving the i-phone a run for its money. apple is made because an other company is doing touch screen possibly better than them. personally i have owned palm phone and i love them and am looking forward to this palm pre
so much people are talking shit..guys if you look at the facts. palm did pda and touch screen way before apple ever even applied touch screen to the first i-pod. and palm kept evolving it. apple became more known for touch screens to the general public due to the original i-pods popularity and then obviously the i touch and i phone.
I am sorry LOL, but this rocks. I am a hard core blackberry user and I have GOT to get my hands on one of these! I have never seen a touch screen phone do so much. I am able to upgrade with sprint so happy belated b-day 2 me. This IS the phone killer and its real. OOoooh!
Very nice video. On my website you can have access to mobile search and search any mobile phone rec info and promotions very nice to use. Just go to my profile to see my website.
I disagree I was a heavy pda user palm andspring then back to palm IF ANYTHING the entire iphone/itouch idea was designed around pda's, the most popular pda devices out there at the time apple was developing the iphone was handspring/palm. do a search on the devices and tell me the interface for itouch/iphone doesnt resemble the layout oh yeah don't forget about the touch screens either. So to me the palm pre is a natural evoluion of the pda/smart phones they sold before.
If it is a open source standard how is it taken from apple ? I think I am misunderstanding you but, doesnt open source means someone else developed for others to use ?? /shrug
Yup that's what I was saying. Sorry I was not clear. Google chrome also uses webkit and manny others. It's quickly becoming the industry standard for web rendering.
One thing that I'm not sure will go over well is the use of multi-touch in this phone. Apple holds patents for this tech and it's not by any means open source.
apple makes great products but so does palm, blackberry and the list goes on....who cares if ur phone is the best phone ever! As long as ur satisfied with what u have screw what other people think.
omg...people stop comparing stuff to the iphone...yes they did a good job with thier iphone and i commend them....but move on...this ui looks good and im not a palm person...just relax..and think about ideas uniting to make better technology..
that would be great to let technologies unite throughout multiple companies. although bad for business. competition is obviously very real in the world and its to bad things thats that the need for "the one step ahead of the rest" is one of the barriers keeping great possibilities at bay.
Actually that would be a bad idea. The competition between them keeps bringing innovation, without it they have no incentive to further develop since customers are force to take from a single producer. For instance in Canada, 4 super large companies control the entire wireless network and it is extremely expensive. AT&T try coming in and lasted a month before one of the companies bought over there division.

please, please, stop ripping off apple and be original! palm need to face the music and realize that they're days are over! sick and tired of seeing so many iphone wannabe's! cant wait to see something that apple hasn't actually done before.
Yeah the iphone sure does have a real qwerty keyboard, other then that what the hell are you expecting to be so different? You will never find a phone that's extremely different.

Since there is no soft keyboard, while in landscape mode, your dead.

I don't think it would be hard to implement, yet, a vertical keyboard is better than all soft keyboard.

didnt apple patent multi-touch?? im surprised pal can use the pinch zooming

I dont think they own the multi-touch technology itself, but rather the applications like pinch and other stuff.
